About Sky+ HD
The Sky+ HD Box improves upon the image and sound quality provided by its digital counterparts by bringing an amazing crystal-clear cinematic experience into your living room - clearer pictures, sharper focus, brighter colours, and greater image depth, with many programmes making use of Dolby Digital 5.1 Stereo, and all broadcasts viewable in widescreen format.
Viewers will be able to watch all Sky channels through an HD box, both HD and standard definition channels. However, only the specific channels will show programmes in high definition - a programme which is broadcast in high definition can be identified by the 'HD' at the end of their name. The Sky+ HD Box has all the functionality of Sky+, you can pause and rewind programmes, watch and record separate channels, record two programmes simultaneously, as well as being able to store up to 80 hours of TV.
The Sky+ HD Box now costs just £99, (normally £150) for the high definition set-top box itself, plus a further £30 for installation, with basic subscription rates charged at £9.75 a month to receive HD channels in addition to your basic Sky TV subscription. Sky+ HD gives the viewer amazing high-definition picture and pristine sound quality combined with a range of programmes unlike any other TV service available in the UK.

Testimonials
"I was really taken back by the quality of HDTV - much much better than I had anticipated. I can't stress enough the difference between HD and normal TV, words cannot do it justice."
James Heritage, St. Albans
"The movies and channels which are broadcast in HD look incredible. Going back to standard definition digital TV would be like going back to black and white after experiencing colour for the first time. Even channels which aren't HD look better in their upscaled form – worth every penny."
Thomas Leytam, Nottingham
"The football on Sky Sports in HD is simply stunning. Every action and minute detail is picked up by the cameras, and the motion is superbly smooth. I never knew that football on TV could look so good. Almost as good as being there yourself – almost!"
Michael Grieg, Derby
